i'm focusedton economy. and i thought from the moment of the debate it was very clear that's what he was all about. and he executed over the last hour and a half. it's sort of the historic norm if you're a democrat in a presidential election, you run to the left and get your nomination and pivot back to the middle and for romney ran unsuccessfully for the nomination. he had been running to the right for four years. and i think it becomes like a conditioned behavior. and i think he was slow making the turn back and heading towards swing voters. and i didn't really see him doing that effectively until his convention speech. and then really really really last night. and last night, it really was the first time this campaign that he struck me like the guy that i saw in 1994 and the guy that ran as governor that he was sort of back close to mitt romney 1.0 as opposed to 2.0 or 3.0 and back to who he is. and i tend to think that people -- when you're not pretending to be somebody else, i think you do a better job.

i sold my house right at the height of the housing bubble just before it burst. i budgeted $80,000 and thought i could make it last three and a half years. it is all gone now and i am broke and i filed for unemployment. people were beating up on romney saying we feel like victims. i am ready to buy into that. i feel like a victim. i am ready to go out there and get every government assistance program i can get because i have given up. i agree with romney. he's right. we are victims. i hope we get a new administration in there that puts me back to work. i will work for myself. small businesses is the keystone for this country. if these fools on capitol hill let us go back to what this country used to be, they can go back to their system and get their own health care and we will take it from there. that is how i feel. host: do you have two minutes to stay on the line? i have no idea if the next caller is going to be an obama or romney supporter or not, but we will see what comes out. georgie, brianna, good morning to you. caller: good morning. how are you this morn

we have seen progress even under republican control of the house of representatives. but ultimately, part of being principled, part of being a leader, is being able to describe exactly what it is intended to, not just saying "i'll sit down," but you have to have a plan. no. 2, what is important is that occasionally you have to say no, to folks both in your own party and the other party. we have had some fights between me and the republicans when they fought back against us reining in the excesses of wall street? absolutely, because that was a fight that needed to be had. when we were fighting about whether or not we were quick to make sure that americans had more security with their health insurance, and they said no, yes, that was a fight we need to have. part of leadership and governing is both saying what it is that you are for, but also being willing to say no to something straight out to tell you, governor romney, when it comes to his own party in the course of this campaign, has not displayed that willingness to say no to some of the more extreme parts of his pa
